If you don't know our story, here it is. We met through Kylee and JD. JD and Danny served together in the army and became friends from there. Danny was always with Kylee and JD at their apartment in Oakland. He would see pictures of Jessica on the walls and say "Im going to marry her one day", joking to irritate Kylee. (If you dont know Danny, he is the best at rattling bones). Jess and Danny saw each other a couple times, but never really talked. Then Danny and Jessica both became newly single at the same time. Danny slid into Jessicas DMs on instagram regarding a donut ice cream sandwich and the conversations flowed from there. They talked pretty frequently but agreed to just stay friends. They went on a "friend date" to Old Mexico in Washington where they bonded over jokes and butt sweat, followed by a shopping trip to Walmart and donut ice cream sandwiches at a local shop. Jessica: " I knew from that first date that we were going to be more than friends. I cant believe that 6 years later we have two kids, a home and a marriage. Its crazy how things happen, but whats meant to be always happens. I couldnt be more thankful for our story" Its safe to say that the label as friends didnt last very long. Danny and Jess talked 24/7. Jessica was working overnights at Ruby Memorial hospital and Danny would stay up late to talk to her into the early morning hours. He drove from Pittsburgh to Washington to meet Jessica for breakfast at Eat N Park. We talked about marriage, kids, future plans and home goals. While Jessica was away in Florida, Danny made a built in book shelf and reading nook in his bedroom (which is at their current house). Two months later they found out they were expecting which was a huge shock. Jessica moved in with Danny when her lease was up and the rest is history. Theyve been together since February 2018. Brayden was born in February 2019. What a crazy and special one year anniversary gift. All the cards were stacked against us, but we have powered through all the ups and downs of parenthood while still trying to get to know one another. Danny proposed in Mexico in July of 2021. Rilyn was born one year later in June of 2022. Jessica: "Im so excited to finally get married. I think we got in really deep really quick and a lot of people didnt think we would last. But here we are, 6 years later with a family. We havent had all the time for just us, so I cant wait to get married and really celebrate our love."
